12th Grade

You've made it to 12th grade! Congratulations!

Senior year is the time to nail down your future plans, apply for colleges, or jobs and/or begin the process to enlist in the military or pursue whatever other dreams are in the near future. You need to work closely with your case manager and guidance counselor to make sure you have completed all credit and/or IEP requirements to graduate and move on to those amazing future plans.

Access NAVIANCE to get connected with additional resources, apply to colleges and request letters of recommendation from your teachers and guidance counselors.

Freedom is pleased to introduce Naviance Student – a comprehensive website that you can use to plan for college and a career. Naviance Student is linked with Naviance, a service that we use in our office to track and analyze data about college and career plans, so it provides up-to-date information that is specific to our school.

Naviance Student allows you to:

  • Get involved in the planning and advising process – Build a resume, complete online surveys, and manage timelines and deadlines for making decisions about colleges and careers
  • Research colleges – Compare GPA, standardized test scores, and other statistics to actual historical data from our school for students who have applied and been admitted in the past
  • Research careers – Research hundreds of careers and career clusters, and take career assessments
  • Create plans for the future – Create goals and to-dos, and complete tasks assigned to you by the school to better prepare yourself for your future college and career goals

Naviance Student also lets us share information with you about upcoming meetings and events, local scholarship opportunities, and other resources for college and career information. You can also use the site to stay in communication with the counseling office.

We hope that you will find this resource helpful. If you have questions about Naviance Student, please see your specific guidance counselor.

Attached you will find a handout specific to the assembly you attended. It gives you tips and pointers with Naviance Student in relation to applying to college.
